Please place the longest line first, and move int err to the last declaration.
When changing declarations of local variables, please use "Reverse Christmas
Tree" order (longest line to shortest line) wherever possible.

duplication with a function (inline) is a good one.

Otherwise, this series looks good to me. Looking forward to merging v4.
